Waitrose Pure Hydration Hot Cloth Cleanser

Image
Waitrose Pure Hydration Hot Cloth Cleanser When I bought this, I had hoped it would be a perfect replacement for Liz Earle’s Cleanse and Polish.  This has a different texture, it is a yellow oily don’t know how to describe it, its thick wouldn’t say cream or solid as a balm but something in between.  It has something that is gritty to exfoliate the skin.  I was worried that it might be too harsh for my skin, but my skin coped well with the grittiness of it.  I would use this as my first cleanse at night to remove my make-up – it removed Benefit Badgal Bang and They’re Real Push Up liner without rubbing the eye are too much.  Even the grittiness didn’t make my eyes sore.  It is applied to dry skin and once removed with a damp cloth there is an oily residue left behind which some might find off putting.  It didn’t leave my skin feeling tight.  One thing I don’t like about the product is the scummy residue that is left in the sink when you pull...

Marks and Spencer Pure Instant Radiance Glycolic Toner

Image
Bottle of M&S Pure Instant Radiance This is a money saving dupe for Pixi Glow Tonic.  I use it three times a week after cleansing at night, I don’t put any moisturiser on afterwards to allow the product to work effectively.  You may be put off by the strong herbally smell of the lotion – don’t be it doesn’t last long.  Both my hubby who has oily skin and I, my skin is dry/sensitive, use this product.  Hubby has noticed that his skin isn’t as oily as it was and any spots he has do not last as long, they dry up quickly.  The texture of both our skins has improved since using this.  We have brighter and healthier looking skin.  There is a slight tingle when you apply this lotion using a cotton pad.   We use one cotton pad and wipe it over our faces avoid the lip and eye area, turn it over and use the other side making sure we clean behind our ears just like our mothers told us to when we were little.  Don’t forget to wipe it over ...

Benefit Badgal Waterproof Eyeliner

Image
Mini of Benefit Badgal Waterproof Eyeliner I bought the mini version of the Badgal Waterproof Eyeliner to see if I could use it to tight-line my eyes and how I looked with them done.   I now wish I had the full size as I like the way my eyes look.   It is a brilliant soft pencil that draws lines both below and above the eyelashes.   It lasts all day and for a waterproof eyeliner most make-up removers remove it easily without too much rubbing.   I have worn it with the Benefit They’re Real Push Up liner in Black and Purple, it made my eyes stand out more.   I have always liked the shape and colour of my eyes and now that my close vision is slowly deteriorating I should hate them, but I still like the and enjoy trying new looks.   Once I have used this little pencil up I will be repurchasing it in a bigger size. Tight lined, eyeliner and mascara No make-up Tight-lined

Hylamide Hydra-Density Mist

Image
Packaging and Bottle of Hylamide Hydra-Density Mist This mist is to be used after cleansing before serums and moisturisers which to me seems weird.  Holding the bottle at arm’s length you can cover your face, neck and décolleté in one go.  Which is how I have been applying it.  We are currently experience some hot weather and I have found that the spray is fine enough to spray over make-up when I want to cool my face down.  It doesn’t disrupt or move my make-up and with the hot weather being around for a few days it is just what I need.  I have only been using it a week and have noticed that at the end of the day my skin isn’t feel tight and I don’t need to rush to take off my make-up.  I would love it to be in a smaller bottle so that I can keep it in my back-pack and use it when I am out and about.  I will be repurchasing this product as I can see many uses for this product.

Abnomaly Bali

Box and Tube of Abnomaly Bali This yellow gel like balm smells like pineapples.  I love pineapples.  I apply this as part of my skincare routine and my lips are hydrated all day long.  Lipsticks last longer on my lips and are not drying.  The lines around my lips are not as noticeable after a week of use.  My lips are not peeling, cracked or dry.  My lips are smooth and soft more importantly not sore.

Benefit Browvo

Benefit Browvo 10 days of using Benefit Browvo Before using Browvo This silver tube holds some sort of magic.  One click per eye brow is all you need.  I personally start with the area of concern for example I start at the front for my right eyebrow and the tail of my left eyebrow.  The tip of the tube is like a comb which disperse the product along each eyebrow.  This is the last step in my morning and evening routine before applying it I wipe my eyebrows to remove any serums or moisturiser.  I will post photos of my right eyebrow to show developments.  I will be re-purchasing this product.

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

Image
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution This is a weekly ritual for my hubby and I to use this product.  Hubby has oily skin and I have dry/sensitive skin.  We have both noticed in a difference in the skin tone and brightness of our skin.  Hubby’s skin isn’t as oily as it was.  There is a slight tingling when this applied in a thin layer all over the face and neck – I also put it on my décolleté.  The ten minutes you have to wait before removing it using warm water and a damp cloth to me is enough -any less and I don’t think the results would be great, any more and you might be very sun sensitive.  The mild crepiness of my décolleté has improved.  We will be repurchasing this product as we both have noticed a difference in our skins since using it.
